The accurate estimation of the battery state of charge (SOC) is crucial for providing information on the performance and remaining range of electric vehicles. Based on the analysis of battery charge and discharge data under actual vehicle driving cycles, this paper presents an online estimation method of battery SOC based on the extended Kalman filter (EKF) and neural network (NN). A battery model is established to identify and calibrate battery parameters. SOC estimation is conducted in the low-SOC area by exploring the relationship between battery parameters and SOC through many experimental results. In the fusion online estimation method, the NN is carried out to propose the estimation as the global mainstream trend providing a high precision feasible region; the EKF algorithm is used to provide the initial assessment and the local fluctuation boundary revision. Verified results show that it can improve the SOC estimation in low-battery capacity accuracy. It has achieved good adaptability to the estimation accuracy of low battery capacity SOC in different cycle conditions.

The accurate estimation of a lithium-ion battery’s state of charge (SOC) plays an important role in the operational safety and driving mileage improvement of electrical vehicles (EVs). The Adaptive Extended Kalman filter (AEKF) estimator is commonly used to estimate SOC; however, this method relies on the precise estimation of the battery’s model parameters and capacity. Furthermore, the actual capacity and battery parameters change in real time with the aging of the batteries. Therefore, to eliminate the influence of above-mentioned factors on SOC estimation, the main contributions of this paper are as follows: (1) the equivalent circuit model (ECM) is presented, and the parameter identification of ECM is performed by using the forgetting-factor recursive-least-squares (FFRLS) method; (2) the sensitivity of battery SOC estimation to capacity degradation is analyzed to prove the importance of considering capacity degradation in SOC estimation; and (3) the capacity degradation model is proposed to perform the battery capacity prediction online. Furthermore, an online adaptive SOC estimator based on capacity degradation is proposed to improve the robustness of the AEKF algorithm. Experimental results show that the maximum error of SOC estimation is less than 1.3%.

Accurate and reliable state of charge (SOC) estimation is a key enabling technique for large format lithium-ion battery pack due to its vital role in battery safety and effective management. This paper tries to make three contributions to existing literatures through robust algorithms. (1) Observer based SOC estimation error model is established, where the crucial parameters on SOC estimation accuracy are determined by quantitative analysis, being a basis for parameters update. (2) The estimation method for a battery pack in which the inconsistency of cells is taken into consideration is proposed, ensuring all batteries’ SOC ranging from 0 to 1, effectively avoiding the battery overcharged/overdischarged. Online estimation of the parameters is also presented in this paper. (3) The SOC estimation accuracy of the battery pack is verified using the hardware-in-loop simulation platform. The experimental results at various dynamic test conditions, temperatures, and initial SOC difference between two cells demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed method.

Lithium-ion batteries have been widely used in electric vehicles, smart grids and many other applications as energy storage devices, for which the aging assessment is crucial to guarantee their safe and reliable operation. The battery capacity is a popular indicator for assessing the battery aging, however, its accurate estimation is challenging due to a range of time-varying situation-dependent internal and external factors. Traditional simplified models and machine learning tools are difficult to capture these characteristics. As a class of deep neural networks, the convolutional neural network (CNN) is powerful to capture hidden information from a huge amount of input data, making it an ideal tool for battery capacity estimation. This paper proposes a CNN-based battery capacity estimation method, which can accurately estimate the battery capacity using limited available measurements, without resorting to other offline information. Further, the proposed method only requires partial charging segment of voltage, current and temperature curves, making it possible to achieve fast online health monitoring. The partial charging curves have a fixed length of 225 consecutive points and a flexible starting point, thereby short-term charging data of the battery charged from any initial state-of-charge can be used to produce accurate capacity estimation. To employ CNN for capacity estimation using partial charging curves is however not trivial, this paper presents a comprehensive approach covering time series-to-image transformation, data segmentation, and CNN configuration. The CNN-based method is applied to two battery degradation datasets and achieves root mean square errors (RMSEs) of less than 0.0279 Ah (2.54%) and 0.0217 Ah (2.93% ), respectively, outperforming existing machine learning methods.

In this paper a novel method for estimating state of charge (SOC) of lithium ion battery packs in battery electric vehicle (BEV), based on state of health (SOH) determination is presented. SOH provides information on aging of battery packs and it declines with repeated charging and discharging cycles of battery packs, so SOC estimation depends considerably on the value of SOH. Previously used SOC estimation methods are not satisfactory as they haven’t given enough attention to the decline of SOH. Therefore a novel SOC estimation method based on SOH determination is introduced in this paper; trying to compensate the deficiency for lack of attention to SOH. Real time road data are used to compare the performance of the conventionally often used Ah counting method which doesn’t give any consideration to SOH with the performance of the proposed SOC estimation method, and better results are obtained by the proposed method in comparison with the conventional method.

The state of charge (SOC) plays an important role in battery management systems (BMS). However, SOC cannot be measured directly and an accurate state estimation is difficult to obtain due to the nonlinear battery characteristics. In this paper, a method of SOC estimation with parameter updating by using the dual square root cubature Kalman filter (DSRCKF) is proposed. The proposed method has been validated experimentally and the results are compared with dual extended Kalman filter (DEKF) and dual square root unscented Kalman filter (DSRUKF) methods. Experimental results have shown that the proposed method has the most balance performance among them in terms of the SOC estimation accuracy, execution time, and convergence rate.

Open-Circuit-Voltage (OCV) is an essential part of battery models for state-of-charge (SOC) estimation. In this paper, we propose a new parametric OCV model, which considers the staging phenomenon during the lithium intercalation/deintercalation process. Results show that the new parametric model improves SOC estimation accuracy compared to other existing OCV models. Moreover, the model is shown to be suitable and effective for battery state-of-health monitoring. In particular, the new OCV model can be used for incremental capacity analysis (ICA), which reveals important information on the cell behavior associated with its electrochemical properties and aging status.

Abstract State of charge (SOC) estimation for lithium ion batteries plays a critical role in battery management systems for electric vehicles. Battery fractional order models (FOMs) which come from frequency-domain modelling have provided a distinct insight into SOC estimation. In this article, for the first time, we compare five state-of-the-art FOMs in terms of SOC estimation. Firstly, characterisation tests on lithium ion batteries are conducted, and the experimental results are used to identify FOM parameters. Parameter identification results show that increasing the complexity of FOMs cannot always improve accuracy. The model R(RQ)W shows superior identification accuracy than the other four FOMs. Secondly, the SOC estimation based on a fractional order unscented Kalman filter is conducted to compare model accuracy and computational burden under different profiles, memory lengths, ambient temperatures, cells and voltage/current drifts. The evaluation results reveal that the SOC estimation accuracy does not necessarily positively correlate to the complexity of FOMs. Although more complex models can have better robustness against temperature variation, R(RQ), the simplest FOM, can overall provide satisfactory accuracy and generalisation ability. It can also maintain high accuracy even under the occurrence of sensor drift.

A novel online adaptive state of charge (SOC) estimation method is proposed, aiming to characterize the capacity state of all the connected cells in lithium-ion battery (LIB) packs. This method is realized using the extended Kalman filter (EKF) combined with Ampere-hour (Ah) integration and open circuit voltage (OCV) methods, in which the time-scale implementation is designed to reduce the computational cost and accommodate uncertain or time-varying parameters. The working principle of power LIBs and their basic characteristics are analysed by using the combined equivalent circuit model (ECM), which takes the discharging current rates and temperature as the core impacts, to realize the estimation. The original estimation value is initialized by using the Ah integral method, and then corrected by measuring the cell voltage to obtain the optimal estimation effect. Experiments under dynamic current conditions are performed to verify the accuracy and the real-time performance of this proposed method, the analysed result of which indicates that its good performance is in line with the estimation accuracy and real-time requirement of high-power LIB packs. The proposed multi-model SOC estimation method may be used in the real-time monitoring of the high-power LIB pack dynamic applications for working state measurement and control.

In this paper, a new approach to modeling the hysteresis phenomenon of the open circuit voltage (OCV) of lithium-ion batteries and estimating the battery state of charge (SoC) is presented. A characterization procedure is proposed to identify the battery model parameters, in particular, those related to the hysteresis phenomenon and the transition between charging and discharging conditions. A linearization method is used to obtain a suitable trade-off between the model accuracy and a low computational cost, in order to allow the implementation of SoC estimation on common hardware platforms. The proposed characterization procedure and the model effectiveness for SoC estimation are experimentally verified using a real grid-connected storage system. A mixed algorithm is adopted for SoC estimation, which takes into account both the traditional Coulomb counting method and the developed model. The experimental comparison with the traditional approach and the obtained results show the feasibility of the proposed approach for accurate SoC estimation, even in the presence of low-accuracy measurement transducers.

State of charge (SOC) of the lithium-ion battery is an important parameter of the battery management system (BMS), which plays an important role in the safe operation of electric vehicles. When existing unknown or inaccurate noise statistics of the system, the traditional unscented Kalman filter (UKF) may fail to estimate SOC due to the non-positive error covariance of the state vector, and the SOC estimation accuracy is not high. Therefore, an improved adaptive unscented Kalman filter (IAUKF) algorithm is proposed to solve this problem. The IAUKF is composed of the improved unscented Kalman filter (IUKF) that is able to suppress the non-positive definiteness of error covariance and Sage–Husa adaptive filter. The IAUKF can improve the SOC estimation stability and can improve the SOC estimation accuracy by estimating and correcting the system noise statistics adaptively. The IAUKF is verified under the federal urban driving schedule test, and the SOC estimation results are compared with IUKF and UKF. The experimental results show that the IAUKF has higher estimation accuracy and stability, which verifies the effectiveness of the proposed method.
